Now, this chapter has been rewritten when I decided to replace the original plot into the main cast of Gravity Falls due to a little embarrassment that involves music. It's all on me. If anyone ask why the twins and their friends were young, yes. Because I need them to be part of the story and I don't know if it shows an adult version of Dipper that wrote down about everything including the box, but turns out that it didn't So anyway, thank you for your patience and enjoy reading!
Amphibia: Calamity War
Chapter 7: Hop 'Til You Drop
The next morning at the airport where airplane has landed. Then we see some passengers has exited the gate with their suitcases. Then there were twins that are teens, the one that wears a blue pine tree hat, dark blue vest with red shirt, grey shorts, and tennis shoes reading his journal with a pine tree in front.
While the other one was a girl wearing a shooting star sweater, purple skirt, and dress socks and shoes smiling with her braces. The twins were carrying their backpack and their suit case as they got off from the plane.
"Well, here we are Mabel...Los Angeles."
"Wow! It's been so long since our parents took us there. I can feel it."
"Yep, it's full of tourist traps, tall buildings, family theme parks, and more mystery to discover."
"Ha, not as much as back in Gravity Falls, huh Dipper."
Suddenly, more friends has arrived. It shows two more girls when they come out. One is a red hair teenager wearing her lumberjack hat, flannel button up long sleeve shirt, tight jeans, and her boots.
The girl has same ages as the twins with blonde hair wearing her purple earrings, purple coat, light purple shirt, black tight pants, her belt, and her brown shoes. She's carrying her suitcase wearing her sunglasses.
"Hey man, thanks for tagging us along with you guys. Can't let you have all the fun while I'm around." said the red haired girl.
"No problem, Wendy." said Mabel.
"At least I told my parents that I set my foot down telling them that I need freedom." said the former rich girl.
"Well Pacifica, I'm glad that you can join us." said Dipper.
"Thanks, so why are we here again?" pacifica asked.
"Because we have a mystery to discover."
They looked at the elder who's wearing his brown trench coat, red sweeter, dark brown pants, and brown boots. He also wears his glasses when he approached carrying his brief case.
"According to my calculations, the rumors are that this unidentified anomaly has been spotted three days ago." said the elder then he called out. "Hey Stanley, you coming?"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm coming."
Then another elder came that almost looks like a twin wearing his glasses, red bean hat, grey trench coat, white t-shirt, light grey pants, and his boot. He also carrying his suitcase walking alongside with a pig on a leash.
"Took me long enough to get the pig out of the kennel."
"Aw, did Waddles had a good time?" Mabel cooed.
"Of course he had a good time. So Ford, where's the exit?" Stan asked.
"I'm thinking that's we're headed." replied Ford pointing his thumb for that direction.
"Oh, right. Hope they won't probably recognized me."
"C'mon Grunkle Stan, everyone loves you. Sure they forgive you after you saved the world." said Mabel.
"Well, not all folks likes you that much." Dipper added.
"Alright kids, we better get going. Our buses will arrive any minute." Ford reminded them.
"Woo-hoo! The Pines Family is back in town, baby!" Mabel cheered.
"(chuckled) Something's never change." Dipper commented.
The Pines and their friends are heading to an exit where the bus approaches just in time. They were about to get in, but was blocked by a bus driver.
"Sorry, no animals allowed on the bus." said The bus driver.
"Aw come on! I spent my money on that plane!" Stan whined.
The bus driver close the door and drove away from the Pines family leaving them disappointed when groaning.
"Well, that sucks." Wendy went disappointed.
"Anyone up for a taxi?" Ford asked.
Meanwhile at Boonchuys residence, the door opens when Anne stretches and yawn as she went to get some mails, she is stopped by Sprig, Polly, and Hop Pop by grabbing her sock eagerly wants to go outside and explore some new things.
"Where you going, Anne?" They said altogether.
"Uuuhh... the mailbox..." Anne answered.
"Sounds exciting! Can we come? Please! Please!" Sprig pleaded ashe shakes on top of Hop Pop.
"Uuuhh... Yeah. I guess."
"YAY!" Both Sprig and Hop Pop cheered.
"WOO-HOO!" Polly cheered.
The Plantars fled when they went to put on their disguises. Anne goes out to the mailbox, and then Sprig and Polly come out in their disguises, but the Plantar siblings are now wearing their different disguises except for Hop Pop that still wearing his disguises.
Sprig is now wearing a wore a maroon jacket underneath a pale and dark brown striped shirt. He had a dark green beanie, and revealing a bit of his hair, light grey shoes, and an ivory face-mask, with a cat's mouth imprinted on it.
And as for Polly is now wearing her small brown coat, yellow boots, and put on her hair wig with her teal striped hat on it. They are happy to be with Anne wherever shoe goes since she got back home from Amphibia.
"You know, I used to only get the mail to intercept my report card. Buy these days-" Anne paused when she finds out that the Plantars are not there. "HUH?!"
Anne looked at Polly when she saw two kids riding on scooter and tricycle. Polly waved at these cool kids.
"Hey, smallish humans!" Polly greeted, but seeing that the two cool kids don't stop, she dodges them in jumps out of the way. Polly was not happy at those kids.
"HEY! WATCH IT! YOU OVERGROWN STINKBUGS!" Polly shouted.
Two kids halted and turned around when they are offended.
"What did you call us?" said The girl offended.
Anne intervenes and picked up Polly and put her on top of her head to prevent an argument.
"Sorry, sorry... she's just a baby." Anne apologized when she walked away from the kids.
"Weirdest baby I've ever seen." The boy commented.
Polly angrily growls at them. Now it is shown a lumberjack carrying firewood with a shredding machine. When he leaves, Sprig comes out of his hiding place and takes a look at the part where firewood comes in.
"Ooooh! That looks fun..." Sprig curious.
"SPRIG! NO!" Anne shouted as she grab Sprig panted.
Then she heard Hop Pop. She looked and gasp where we Hop Pop was talking to a business man holding a board.
"A free vacation? Just for listening to your talk? Well, sign me up." said Hop Pop.
Before he was about to sign, but Anne grabbed him by his hair dragging and walked off from the business man. Now Anne takes the Plantars straight back to the house and closes on the front door.
Anne stormed to the kitchen to get something to drink when she open the fridge to pulled out a can of orange juice and closed it as she drinks it down until its empty. Her parents were staring at her concerned while making breakfast.
"Something wrong, kiddo?" Bee asked.
"Where do I start. Polly nearly got in a fight, Hop Pop was second away from getting scammed, and Sprig almost got into a wood chip!" Anne exclaimed.
"Wait, is Sprig made out of the wood?" Oum confused.
"(sigh) I'm exhausted just trying to keep them out alive!"
Her parents give a glanced and her mother chuckles.
"Sound like being a parent." said Oum.
"The trick is ease them into the world, slow and steady like how I'm easing this egg into-" His word got cut off when the egg cracked too soon. "Dang it!"
"Just be patient. This is a lot new for them." Oum suggested.
"Yeah, you're right. Slow and steady." Anne agrees.
Anne exit the kitchen to check on the Plantars, but halt when she gasp and saw Sprig was about to reached out his tongue at the fan ceiling, then looked at Polly shouted at the kids by looking through the window.
"Think you're tough?! Bring it on human!" Polly taunted.
Then Anne looked at Hop Pop talking on the phone.
"Free money? And all I have to do is give you my bank account numbers?" said Hop Pop talking on the phone.
Anne inhales by took a deep breath and then screaming, but with low voice by closing the window curtain, snatched the phone from Hop Pop, and swipe Sprig down by using a broom. Anne was crossed with them.
"Nope! Slow and steady ain't gonna cut it! You three will be dead in two days!" Anne scolds them.
"Is that a threat?!" Polly snapped.
"You okay, Anne?" Sprig asked.
"Here, take this free stress test I got from that guy." Hop Pop offered.
Anne swung her arm to flip off the papers from Hop Pop.
"No! The responsible thing to do is to train you all at once at the most chaotic and dangerous place I know."
Later on, the van has arrived at the building where people rent. The Pines Family got out from the vehicle while they took their luggage's out. Stan gave some cash to the driver and walked off. They have entered the lobby as they approached at the front desk.
"Is this where we sleeping?" Dipper asked.
"Yes, this is where we'll be staying until we get to the bottom of this." replied Ford.
"Well this seems nice." Mabel comments.
"(scoff) Oh please, I can't sleep with boys where we shared rooms." said Pacifica when took a glanced at Dipper. "No offense."
"None taken." said Dipper.
"C'mon Pacifica, we get to spend night like sleep over. It's too bad that Candy and Grenda won't be joining us." said Mabel.
"It's alright Mabel, I'm sure they'll be back from boating trip."
"She's right, Mabes. You still got us." Wendy added.
"I guess you're right. So, who wants to go shopping?"
"We do!" Dipper, Pacifica, and Wendy all said with unison.
"You kids go ahead and have fun. We'll take care of your stuff." Stan suggested.
"Are you sure you're not coming with us?" Mabel asked.
"Don't worry pumpkin, I'll look after your pig while Sixers will take your luggage." replied Stan. "Me and my best bro."
"Hmm...Okay!"
"Now don't go too far, because this city's may be pretty, but it's far too risky." said Ford reminded them.
"Yeah, there are couple of burglars out there." Pacifica commented.
"Pfft, we'll be fine. No worries. Super mall, here we come!" said Mabel.
They cheered as they left the building leaving Stan and Ford with Waddles.
"Heh heh, kids. Get's em' every time." Stan chuckled.
"Are you sure this a good idea?" said Ford concerned about their safety.
"Relax sixer, they're not kids anymore. Well, except that they're still thirteen."
"Let's not forget the last time when they wish at the wishing fountain."
(Flashback starts)
It shows Dipper and Mabel as eighteen years old standing by the wishing fountain, but they didn't noticed that there was a warning sign. Mabel tossed a coin to make a wish.
"I wish we were young again like old times." said Mabel.
"I wouldn't be so sure if it's possible." said Dipper concerned about the fountain.
(Flashback ends)
"Right, forget about that." Stan remembers that.
"And that's not all, Dipper and Mabel reverted back into young age by accident along with their friends and their parents totally freaked out." said Ford
"Look, I'm sure we'll find a way to change them back. What could possibly go wrong."
Meanwhile at Willow Brooke Mall where all cars were parked right outside in the parking, then we looked inside where Anne and the Plantar were already inside and sees the entire interior where most people shop and dining at the food court.
"The mall, where I learned most important skills and where you're gonna learn the lessons you need to survive in my world."
"Pfft, survive? Your world is soft, Anne." said Hop Pop.
"Yeah, I mean the animals don't even try to disembowel you." Sprig added.
"Yeah, we don't need those stinking traAAAAHHHHH!" Polly words cut off.
The Plantars fell off by tumbling on the escalator while Anne is watching them fall smug. Then Anne got on the escalator crossing her arm and then she got off the escalator. They looked up at Anne crossing her.
"(ahem) Proceed." said Hop Pop.
"I've been come up with a specific task each of you." said Anne. "First up, Polly, you need to control your temper. It's drawing too much attention and we're trying to keep a low profile."
"I say what I want, when I want!" Polly protest.
"Maybe in Wartwood, but not here and your mission is to go into that store and build a custom plushie without fighting anyone." Anne ordered by pointing her finger to a toy store called "Construct-A-Carnivore".
"Huh? Child's play."
"Sprig, you can't touch everything or you're gonna loose a limb." Anne reminded him.
"But there's so many new surfaces and textures!" Sprig whined.
"Your mission is to walk through that gallery of art installations without touching any of them." said Anne instructed Sprig.
"Eh, looks simple enough."
"Finally, Hop Pop, you need to stop taking free stuff." said Anne "In my world, everything has it's price."
"Then why did they call it "free", Anne? Hmm? Because they think I'm gullible and easily scammed?" Hop Pop asked.
"Yep."
"Oh, well that's actually pretty clever." Hop Pop finally understands.
"Your mission is to make it through kiosk alley without falling for any free scams." said Anne instructed him by pointing her fingers where most people were waiting for him to sign up for free by using credit card. "I'll be watching all of you from up here. You have 20 minutes to complete your missions."
"And if one of us screws up?" Sprig asked nervously.
"Then you can't be trusted to leave the house...ever!" said Anne but with low tone.
The Plantars were shocked that if one of them screws up, then they'll never leave her house again. They don't want to Anne to get mad.
"Since when did you set the stage?" Hop Pop concerned.
"No way! Scattered!" Polly called.
They were scattered around until they bumped each other and fell.
"Oh boy." Anne commented.
Just then from a view distance away, the teens have entered as they looked stunning that the mall was so huge. Clearly, they do have the mall back in Gravity Falls like the time Dipper and Mabel tried to have their friend together with his new girlfriend.
"Look! The mall was just like Gravity Falls!" Mabel smiles.
"Gotta admit it. This place is so huge." said Pacifica.
"You said it, kiddo." replied Wendy.
"So, what you girls wanna do. Get some clothes or..." Dipper asked for suggestions because he knew that there's only three girls and one boy.
"Are you kidding! Of course, we can go shopping!" Mabel chimes.
"Yeah, I promise Patrick that I could bring him back some souvenirs." said Wendy.
"Sorry that he couldn't join with us." Dipper apologize.
"Nah, it's okay. I'm sure he'll be okay while looking after Ford's kids."
"Mmm-hmm." Dipper nodded.
"Now, before we begin, Dipper and I got a lot of few things to checkup with." said Pacifica.
"Like what?"
"You know, back to school for over five more years, thanks to Mabel."
"Hey! It was just a mistake! I wished for one time! One time!" Mabel argues.
"Well, you owe me big time, Marbles." said Pacific crossing her arms.
"Girls, let's not make a scene. The last thing we should deal with is 'Never Mind All That' act. Let's have some fun while were at it." said Wendy.
"She's right, girls. We should get some clothes for our size before we turned back into eighteen in less than three months." said Dipper.
"You got it!" Mabel gives him a thumbs up.
"Sure, whatever." replied Pacifica.
"Good, then let's roll."
Dipper, Mabel, Pacifica, and Wendy went to go shopping to get some clothes and some other accessories. At least that nobody was paying attention to those threes and speaking of which.
We cut to the Construct-A-Carnivore where Polly enters. She looked at the sign says "Pick yer parts".
"Piece of cake." said Polly when raspberry.
She looked at some toy parts and she started to think carefully until she chooses the body part.
"This will do." Then Polly grabs two arms, two legs, and pops out from the noses wearing a mouse ear that resembles to Mickey, but Polly took out the nose from her face. "Hmm, no thanks."
She walked over to the table and set the parts down.
"Don't know why Anne thought this would be difficult."
Polly was about put the arm in, but suddenly a baby took the arm part from Polly and chewed on the arm. Polly was about to complain, but she remembers what Anne said to her about controlling her temper when she heard Anne's voice.
"Build a custom plushie without fighting anyone."
"Oh, hello there." Polly greeted to the baby "I think there's been misunderstanding but-"
Polly was spitted by the baby raspberry on her.
"What the?!" Then Polly spotted a woman. "Hey lady, your chubby spawn is ruining my work!" Polly snapped.
"Did you just call my kid a spawn?!" The mother offended.
"Focus Polly! Don't make a scene!" Polly thought from her mind as twitching her eyes, but instead she sighed.
"Know what? It's fine, I'll just get more-"
Suddenly, the baby in a stroller showed up swiping the left arm and chewed on it.
"Hey!"
Then another took the upper body from Polly when a baby girl is chewing while two more babies approached. Polly started to get annoyed she tried to control her temper when gritted her teeth.
"Must...contain...FURY!"
Meanwhile from in gallery art, Sprig was hoping around when most people took no noticed. Sprig was amazed for all of the arts installation.
"Whoa! Such textures to explore."
Then he hopped over until he saw something that is huge where it shows a huge giant head with a color of orange that was covered with some golden coins and a huge dollar.
"Whoa!"
Sprig jumps up when he's laughing eagerly to touch, but he heard Anne's voice running through his head.
"Then you can't be trusted to leave the house...ever!"
Sprig realized when he opened his eyes wide open. He halted himself in midair and landed on four.
"Well, it's fine. Totally fine. I can just look and appreciate from afar."
He walked off as he started to sing when he hummed, but he started to get nervous every time he passed some arts. He couldn't shake the feelings that he needed to touch something, but he doesn't want his best friend to get mad at him if he broke the rules and failed the mission.
And then he stops and look straight at the huge art that has a giant eyeball with some many levers, bells, buttons, and some knick knacks. Sprig was amazed at this art. He wriggled his finger when he walked closely, but he was hesitated.
"Come on Sprig! Fight it!" said Sprig talking to himself then he punched himself.
He repeatedly punching himself to prevent touching something while two persons were standing there confused.
"Must be some kind of performance piece." The man commented.
Meanwhile, Hop Pop is walking as he passed by some kiosks to avoid some scams like he has been told not to.
"Sir, how would like to get your free gift card?"
"You there! You wanna regrow that hair? I know you do."
Hop Pop was hesitated to fall for it until he approached at the camera stand when this man spoke to him.
"Hey there, handsome. Want to start your modeling career with some head shots? Just need your ID. It's one hundred no strings attached free." said the man smiling creepily.
Hop Pop hesitantly slowly taking out his wallet, but slapped himself. He put the wallet back into his coat and walked away. But he took no notice when there's a mall cop is standing on the motor wheel while eating his meal, but his stomach growls and tossed his food away into the trash can.
"It's the last time I get sushi out of a vending machine."
Suddenly, he spotted Hop Pop when mistakenly think he's a stranger wearing his fedora hat and his trench coat. He moved his eyes at the warning flyers says "Stranger Danger" and he gasp. He pulled out his walkie-talkie to calling the authorities.
"Mark here. Got a suspicious looking C.O.D. Creep old dude on radar. I'm in pursuit."
Mark rolled off with his electric scooter to follow Hop Pop.
Back to Anne where she's standing behind at the balcony staring at the Plantars as she smiles at them for not doing screw ups.
"So far, so good. The Anne Boonchuy trial by fire is really paying off."
"OMG! Anne?! Is it really you?"
Anne looked back at the girl who's been shopping while holding her drink. She ran as she quickly hugged Anne while shocking. Then she lets go of her hug and grab her shoulder shaking
"Where have you been? Is it true that you were missing or ran away or die or something?"
Anne recognized that girl that goes to school with her, however when this girl mentioned it, Anne doesn't really like talking about her experience since being stranded for five months. Anne has to come up with some excuses when she answered.
"Don't be ridiculous, Gabby. I was just at my family's farm in... Alaska...for five months."
"Well now that you're back, I gotta catch you up from all the hot gosh." said Gabby.
Listen, I'm sort of..."
"So, Bridget got mad at Carlos 'cause she thought Carlos went to the movies with Johanna but it was actually Yoko. So then Yoko, they're just stopping bffs until they both got at mad Tommy, because Tommy said we've only been dating since second grade. We're not sold."
Anne started to get bored when listening to Gabby's story.
Sprig keeps crawling on the floor as he complained and groaning.
"(groan) I can't do this! These things are just so cool!"
He turned his body around and looked straight at Anne when she was listening to Gabby.
"Yeah, and then I said "Dude, you're gonna get caught", right? So obvious."
Sprig quickly sit up when he noticed that Anne was distracted.
"Chance."
He twisted his around and looked straight at the exhibit. His body turned around in front. He stands up wriggled his finger. He walked closer to the exhibit and jumped onto it when he touched the mirror.
"Touch."
Then he touched the part from the spikes, then rubbing two cottons on his face.
"Feeling."
He pulled the rope and jumped onto an eyeball. He chuckled, but then he noticed when one of the cottons was ripped off and fell as it bounced off from the spikes and then turned the wheel. Slipped on the lower lever and landed on the lever. Then he felt it started to fell.
"Uh oh."
The art was starting to fell apart as the eyeball fell and then rolling while Sprig is holding on to it by bouncing on each some arts by sticking on a giant paper and then sticking on the homemade cube. Meanwhile back at the Construct-A-Carnivore, Polly was overcrowded by some babies and toddlers while she's almost finishing up her toy.
"Almost...done! Ha!"
Polly pushed through some toddlers. Polly finished constructing her toy. But suddenly, she was pushed by one of the toddlers as it falls off and landed in front of the baby picking up a toy.
"Gaga?" (Destroy?)
"No! Please! I'm so tired! This madness needs to stop!"
Polly begged the baby not to destroy her toy, but the baby just did.
"Ga!" (Destroy!)
The baby ripped the body part of the plushie apart in half spreading out the fluffs. Poll was completely horrified shocked at what the baby just did. Then Polly started to get mad. Gritting her teeth.
"THAT'S IT!"
Polly made a war cry when she charged at the baby as she started to attack. Polly was about to raise her stubby hands, but another baby girl hit Polly with a rattle. More babies joined the fight while another baby boy broke the bottle in half. They were all fighting each other by some dust clouds everywhere while the mother is holding to a baby wearing something like a leash.
"Someone get the manager!" The woman panicked.
Meanwhile back for Hop Pop as he walked past the sign says "Fountain of Wishes" (Contains Chlorine) when he took no notice. He chuckled when he finally passed some kiosks when he leaned on the fountain.
"Take that Anne. Told ya your world is so easy pea-" He looked and gasp when he saw some coins in the fountain. His eyes were sparkled.
"It can't be! Thousands of coppers just there for the taking, for free?!" Hop Pop exclaimed. He looked back Anne when listening to Gabby's girl chatting.
"They didn't know it, but they ended up going to the same restaurant."
Hop Pop noticed when Anne was distracted.
"Chance!"
He ripped off his coat and his ascot, as he jumped into fountain while his fedora flew off. Suddenly, Mark halt his electric scooter when he saw Hop Pop's coats and fedora lying on the floor. He gasp as he pulls out from his walkie-talkie.
"We got a disc rover stealing wishes in progress. Over."
Mark rolled over to the fountain. Now back to Anne listening to Gabby's talking when it's been like a minute or an hour.
"So, what started out as a love triangle is now some kind of disgusting love rhombus." Gabby continued her story.
But suddenly they heard Sprigs shouting as the eyeball sticking some arts causing the people to fled when panic. Sprig is running rolling on the eyeball as he tried to not to fall off.
"I MAY HAVE TOUCH SOMETHING!" Sprig hollered.
Anne was totally shocked that Sprig just keep messing up, but holds her temper while Gabby is around.
"Oh shoot. Good to see you Gabs! Gotta go!" said Anne when she ran off.
"Later Anne! Glad to see you back from Alaska!" Gabby waved her arm at Anne.
Anne runs downstairs to get Sprig, but the giant eyeball rolled passed by her. Then she heard Polly yells when she's being chased by moms strolling their babies out from the toy shop when babies crying tossed their rattlers, glass bottles, and pacifiers.
"Gangway! Angry moms coming through!" Polly yelled.
"Well, at least it couldn't get any worse." Anne prayed.
"Help me, Anne! Help me!" Hop Pop hollered.
Anne looked at Hop Pop whose been chase by Mark while carrying some coins in his pockets that is now covered in green.
"Hop Pop?! Why are you green?!" Anne exclaimed.
"That cursed fountain did this to me! You were right, Anne! Everything has its price!"
"Okay, first things first. Gotta clean up this mess." said Anne when she knows what she's doing.
She ran to the trampoline and jumped on it, but didn't notice when a little boy was jumping until Anne landed on the trampoline when jumped off while the boy flew up high screaming while the mother is stood there taking picture on her phone.
Later on, the teens has gathered what they need after the clothing department and some antique. Dipper seems to enjoy listening to his twin sister and his friends gossiping like how all girls do after they exited from "Old Wavy" store to get different kind of outfit for their own sizes.
"Oh, my gosh! Can you believe that this guy was all tied up in the museum at Gravesfield!" Pacifica exclaims.
"The curator guy? How did that happened?" Dipper asked.
"Well, let's just say that he got arrested for trespassing every property that each animals like rabbits and squirrels when caught up in the net."
"Aw, those poor things. That guy's gonna pay for this." said Mabel.
"Well, he was big jerk anyway. A big whoop." replied Wendy.
"I agree, but to come think of it. Were there any anomalies at Gravesfield?" Dipper asked.
"Pfft! Of course there were bunch of witch there, Dipper. How bad can it be?" Mabel shrugged.
Then suddenly, Sprig rolled passed them on the giant eyeball when confused. Sprig is still running rolling on a giant eyeball with some wrecked art. Sprig looked straight at the wall as he was expected to crash, but Anne sprang to get Sprig off before it hits as most art broke into pieces. A woman stood there confused about some broken arts.
"Honestly, I can't tell the difference. Oh hey! Bada bing!"
The Pines stood there confused while blinking their eyes.
"What just happen?" Mabel asked.
"Dipper." Pumbaa answered.
Polly was keep running from angry moms until Anne picked up the pollywog in disguise and ran quickly to ditch the angry moms before they reached them. By the time three angry moms shows up, they stopped and looked Anne sitting on the bench while Polly was inside Sprig's hoodie when his face is hiding.
Can I help you ladies?" Anne asked kindly.
"Why yes, we're looking for a ruffian who is making trouble for our little angels." said one of the mother.
"I've got just the guy." said Anne when she called the mall cop. "Excuse me, sir! I have a numbers of ladies who'd like to complain."
Mark halted when he cornered at Hop Pop, but stopped by some angry moms marched towards him. He pulled out his walkie talkie to contact.
"Uh, headquarters, I got pack of M.I.D's that is mom in distress here. Send backup! SEND BACKUP!"
Mark was overwhelmed by angry moms while Anne and the Plantars run upstairs and exited through the doors and run towards to the alley. Anne grabbed Sprig's hoodies to pulled them in. But they didn't notice when the Pines were staring. Dipper is rubbing his finger on his chin thinking about this kid.
"What was that all about?" Wendy asked.
But she looked at her twin brother staring at the scene. Dipper started to think about Anne. He quickly pulled out his phone and search through the web until he looked through a social. His eyes went wide when he realize that it was her. Mabel, Pacifica, and Wendy were over looking at Dipper's phone.
"Wait, is that..." said Pacifica thinking.
"You don't think that's her. Right?" Mabel asked.
Dipper keeps staring at the post where it shows picture of Anne that was posted by Daisy. He finally realize that rumors are true.
"We gotta tell our grunkles."
Few seconds later when the sun goes down, they were exhausted as they panted taking their breath. Once they're taking a breather, Sprig sadly sat down on the floor thinking they messed up again.
"Well, guess we failed our trials." said Sprig sadly.
"Oh, you think?!" Polly snapped.
"No, no. I'm the one who failed. I shouldn't have put you guys through all this in the first place. It was too much too soon." said Anne blaming herself.
"Don't feel too bad. Turns out we can't stand to learn a few things about your world." said Hop Pop comforting Anne.
"I just really thought by throwing you to the deep end would work. I mean it work for me in Amphibia."
"Uhhhh?"
They looked puzzled for this moment until they burst out for a laugh. Anne looked puzzled and started to wonder why they would just laugh for all of sudden.
"You barely survived." Hop Pop laugh.
"Yeah, remember when she was looking at her phone and walked right into that pool of quicksand?" Polly remembers that time when Anne was trapped in a quicksand.
"Or when she was napping outside in a swarm of skull suckers trying to carry her away?" Sprig remembers that time when a swarm of giant wasps carrying Anne away sleeping.
Then they laughed again, but Anne didn't remember that part.
"Wait, I don't remember that last part?" Anne confused.
"Anne, we were always looking out for you. Even if you didn't always notice." said Hop Pop.
"Thanks guys, I had no idea and I'll try to do better about easing you into this place." said Anne.
They all hugged together happily as long as they stick together until the end. Then Sprig noticed something about Hop Pop.
"I think we need to get Hop Pop to a shower." Sprig suggested.
"Oh, yes please. My skin is burning." Hop Pop agreed.
Welp, I've got nothing to add an extra ending before I do the next page. Hope you enjoyed reading and stay tuned for the next chapter!
